Show Your Work 2006

Cal Johnson · November 9th, 2006, 05:45 PM

Hey John, that's a lot of production value for $350. Lots of good looking shots. I think the only thing I didn't like was the Glidecam footage, it really dips from side to side too much for me, put that's just me. I get woozy easily watching that kind of stuff for some weird reason. Some nice lighting, good shot composition too. What did you use during shooting to do the lip sync?

Jay Kavi · November 9th, 2006, 07:27 PM

I agree. The shots looked great, especially the beach shots. I felt the editing was overdone at times, it seemed like you were copying some of the current video fads. The sometimes quick editing looked odd against the slower more deliberate cuts. also the artist did seem fully relaxed. Good video.

i gotta plug sean's festival. he does a wonderful job welcoming the producers. and estes park is a very pretty place to watch your film projected in an historic theater. this past year's event was great fun, unfortunately i had to drag two five-year-olds along, so i could not take maximum advantage of all the good times. but it's a terrific event.

I seem to be the only one here who cannot attract a comment. It looks a little embarrassing. Is it youtube or should I post a link to a better quality download?

Jay Kavi · November 11th, 2006, 11:49 PM

Mark,

I didn't really understand it. the beginning didn't make much sense. I'm gonna watch it a few more times. Technically, the sound needed some work.

Chris Hocking · November 12th, 2006, 12:32 AM

Hey Mark,

I just watched your film then...

I think the story needed a bit more work. The concept seems a little shallow.

Never-the-less, it kept me interested for 3 minutes.

Chris!

Hi all,

We're editing some scenes for our weekly soap-opera/series about four students in Holland, and we have these two scenes where they're watching TV. Now we're looking for some material that is supposedly on that TV. It's only about the audio, as you don't see the TV from the front. Is there anyone that likes to have a bit of their production on there? It can be anything from a movie to a documentary to fake commercial or live event. We're not too picky as we don't have a lot of time/options. The only important thing is that you made it and didn't use any copyrighted music yourself of course...
Thank you very much in advance!

Steven

Hey, thanks for the feedback guys!

I wish I could have traded some of those glidecam shots for dollies (especially outside at the beach, because it was extremly windy).

I pulled a bunch of favors from some friends to get all the locations for free (otherwise the video would have cost in the thousands).

Overall I learned a lot in this video, especially in the field of producing. In past videos I've never really gone outside of my city to shoot, but this time, we traveled everywhere, and the locations definitely helped the video out. I also got better in my directing during the duration of this video. In all, this was a great learning experience and I'm ready to apply what I got from this video to the next.

Next video shoot is in January!

Federico Martini Crotti · November 13th, 2006, 06:23 PM

Would like to invite anyone around the SF BayArea to stop by the screening (17th of November, 6:30PM, LaPeña Cultural Center, Berkeley) of my doc shot with an XL1 PAL, a couple years ago, competing within the Music Documentary Category of the 10th http://www.latinofilmfestival.org/

***The following is a shameless plug for a TV show I was an editor on***

The 10 Best & Worst Video Games of all Time will premiere on MTV on Nov 14th at 8pm. I don't know what it's officially called in your local channel guide, but it's listed as "GameTrailers.com: Best & Worst Games" on tv.yahoo.com.

If you miss it that night I'm sure you can catch it again as it will air 16 times on MTV and MTV2.
